More Fallout In Canada From Evils Of Contraception

We really are going to lose
Canada if the Catholic Bishops continue to dither about Humanae
Vitae and the Winnipeg
Statement. And when I say "lose Canada" I really mean "lose the hard won blessings of God on our society." It pains me to think of what suffering and evil my children and grandchildren will have to endure in such a society.

I know, I know, I sound
like a broken
record. Does every
social evil in Canada have to lead back to the widespread use of contraception?
Of course not, but that doesn’t mean we stop our critical examination of cause
and effect in any particular area of
inquiry.

Look, after digesting the latest outrageous attacks on
Christians in Canada—leaving aside the assault
by Justin Trudeau—ask yourself if we are not entering into a new era of
Christian persecution in Canada. A chill in the air seems all too real since the controversies over Trinity Western University and most recently over
the Nanaimo city council.

Go here
for a video intro by Ezra Levant on the Trinity Western battle and here for the scoop on Nanaimo.
I support Ezra’s efforts entirely as he covers both these controversies on a
new website dedicated to
anti-Christian bigotry. My guess is that as Canada moves “forward” Ezra will need
to seriously ramp up his activities in this regard.

In our own local setting, where our metropolitan newspaper can’t
find time for a word
or letter about mass murderer Kermit Gosnell, the editorial team seems possessed
of an urgent
need to make room for condemnations
of Trinity Western. Well, at least they gave Trinity Western a chance to say a few brief words of defense. Fair and balanced, right? And they wonder
why readers are losing interest in traditional media (their newspaper ) and
instead getting their news from unreliable online sources!! Apparently, they
say, “the freak show is winning.”

Like I've been saying, what Bishops do and what they don’t
do can move mountains but always their decisions filter down to the most ordinary facets of life.
